Mario, now I understand less. If he loves her, why all this drama? He should just forgive her, they should get back together, and that's it. It's obvious that woman is bothered seeing him with me.
It's not that easy, Jessika. He doesn't forgive betrayal, and his family, even less so. They detest Margaret; in fact, they've always hated her.
Then it's a miracle they accepted me.
It's that you are very different from her, besides being more beautiful.
I'm not arguing that, I am unique.
😂😂😂 Ha, ha, ha! From today onward, you are my idol! Look at you, daring to defy Mr. Bennett like that. Even I, after so many years in his service...
While they were laughing, Harry watched from the window and asked himself:
Jessika Brown, why do you laugh with Mario and are so sweet, while with me, you are so cold and defiant?
Harry's office was a disaster. After the argument with Jessika, he had thrown everything on the floor.
Jessika went to see Jack and Catherine, her friends.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, Jessi. How are things with Mr. Bennett?"
"Bad. He almost killed me today."
😯😯😯 "Whaaat? Why?"
"Calm down. I challenged him. This time I went too far. I undermined his authority in front of the staff, and he hates that. But I don't regret it."
"No, Jessi. You are in danger near that guy."
"I know, but I won't let him see me humiliated. Ever."
"Jessi, be very careful. We don't want anything to happen to you. Try not to challenge him; that man is cruel. He didn't earn that reputation for nothing," said Jack.
"I'll try. At least now I know why he got married."
"Why?"
"Being married to me will make his ex-girlfriend, who betrayed him, jealous. It's his way of getting revenge."
"I'm going. I have a lot of homework."
"Be careful, Jessi."
"Don't worry, Jack. I'll be fine."
In Harry's office...
"Mario, tell Jessika to be prepared because my parents are coming to spend a month with us."
"That means they'll have to sleep in the same room."
"Unfortunately, yes."
"She's not going to like that at all, sir. I thought you were going to kill her."
"I didn't want to, but I remembered that she is the means to get my revenge and destroy that imbecile Oliver Thompson, just like Margaret, and I restrained myself. But that little devil has crossed all my boundaries. She challenged me, she made me look like a fool in front of the staff, and she yelled at me as if I were a puppet. But let her not do it again, because she won't have the same luck."
"Don't tell me, sir, that you are starting to like the little devil, as you call her. Only that would explain everything you have allowed her to do. Otherwise, you would never have forgiven her."
Harry remained silent. He said nothing, and Mario understood that he should leave.
At nine o'clock at night, Jessika arrived at the mansion, and Harry saw her arrive through the window of his room. Since he married her, whenever he was there, he waited by the window for her arrival, and when she entered, if he was going to bed, he would do so then.
"Hello, Jessika. I was waiting for you."
"Something's up, Mario."
"Nothing bad. It's just that Mr. Harry's parents are coming tomorrow, and as you can understand, you'll have to sleep in the same room as him."
Jessika inhaled sharply and said, "Oh well, I'll fulfill my part of the contract, and I hope the two years fly by. I want to get rid of that jerk."
"You hate him?"
"Yes. Before it was just fights, but what happened today crossed all limits. I won't let him see me weak, but I will stay away from him, although with the arrival of Mrs. Isabella and Mr. Harry it will be difficult, because I will have to pretend."
The next day.
Harry ordered that all of Jessika's things be moved to his room, except for her books. And he kept some photographs and various things that he kept of Margaret. That was the reason why he had put in the contract that Jessika not enter his room.
"Luisa, when the lady arrives, let her know that everything is in my room."
"Yes, sir."
That day, Jessika left the university and returned to her work at the library, and while she was there, she took the opportunity to do her homework.
At nine o'clock at night, she arrived home, and her in-laws were waiting for her.
"Hello, beautiful. Good evening," Harry said, approaching her and giving her a chaste kiss.
"Hello, darling."
"Good evening, Mrs. Isabella," she said, giving her a kiss on the cheek and a hug.
"Good evening, Mr. Harry."
"Harry told us you're studying medicine."
"Yes, ma'am. I'm already in my ninth semester."
"Wow, interesting. You are definitely the best choice my son has ever made."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Let's have dinner. We were waiting for you."
Harry took her hand, but she pulled away.
They sat down and, after a good chat, Jessika excused herself and went upstairs, but Luisa reminded her that her things were already in Harry's room.
She entered, looked for a pair of long pajama pants, took a shower, and got dressed.
Just as she was finishing getting dressed and applying cream on her arms, Harry entered.
He liked the smell of her perfume and cream, but he didn't say anything.
"Ahem, a question. Would you mind if I use my computer in here? I have a lot of homework."
"No problem."
"Okay."
She got into bed, put on her headphones with music, and dedicated herself to doing her homework.
He also reviewed some business on the couch on his computer. Then he showered, put on pajama pants, and lay down.
He thought she was going to throw him out since he was shirtless, but she just ignored him.
He got into bed on his side, and they lay down. Around two in the morning, he woke up and she was still doing homework.
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
She couldn't hear him because of the music, so he touched her arm.
"Something wrong?"
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Yes, I'll sleep for two hours now, and that's enough."
"Do you always stay up so late?"
"Almost always."
"How come you don't get sick?"
"I'm used to it. Besides, when I'm a doctor, this will be my daily life..."
